Community Theater Plans
To Stage "Huckleberry Finn"
We've seen it in the movies several times; in its original book
form it's one of the most familiar of American stories; now, at
last, we here in Rochester can also see "Huckleberry Finn" on the
stage. The Mark Twain classic is being staged on the 23rd, 24th,
and 25th of this month by the Rochester Community Theater,
ond once again, several Jaysees are taking part in the production.
Graham Kleckner plays the part of Davis, a slave trader. We're
not telling which role Howie Sandum is playing, but anyone who
recognizes him will be doing a remarkable job of detection.
Huck himself is being played by a Lourdes High School senior,
Fay Carroll. The role of Tom Sawyer is being capably filled by
Bud Walters, a Stewartville High-School freshman.
The adaptation of "Huck Finn" being presented was written by Dr. Frank M. Whiting, head of the drama department
of the University of Minnesota. The play
has been produced only at the University
Theatre, and this is its first presentation
elsewhere. Eight different scenes are going to be shown—and they include some scenes
during which Huck's raft floats down the Mississippi River—all of which is going to require
some technical juggling on the part of the Community Theater staff. The play, like the book,
follows Huck's attempts to help his Negro friend,
Jim, to freedom through his involvement with
the two rascals posing as the King and the Duke,
through a revival meeting, through a storm on the river, to the
unexpected turn of events which ends the story.
"Huckleberry Finn" is being staged by the Community
Theater under the sponsorship of the American Association of
University Women. Besides the two regularly scheduled evening
performances on the 24th and 25th, there will be two matinees,
on the 23rd and 24th, planned especially for students.'
The curtain will go up tomorrow night at 8:15 on "The i
Emperor's New Clothes," the spring production of the Rajesters.
Directed by Miss Flora McGhee, and featuring such well-known
R. J. C. personalities as Johnmiles Johnson, the Hentges brothers, and Bob Lyke, the celebrated Hans Christian Anderson satire
on tyranny, vanity, and bravado promises to make a highly entertaining evening of it. The
cast has rehearsed intensively and
shows every indication of giving a highly polished performance. The Anderson story was
adapted for the theatre by Charlotte Chorpenning, a former
Winona girl who is now associated with the Goodman
Memorial Theatre of Chicago.
Johnmiles .Johnson makes
good use of his varied experience
with J. C. audiences in interpret-|
ing the role of the Emperor. The
brothers Hentges — Bob and
Frank—have been cast in the
roles of Zar and Zan, the incorrigible clowns who are always
getting themselves into trouble
and pulling each other out
again. Bob Lyke (as Han) was
exceptionally well cast as the
typical oriental tyrant, colorfully costumed in the Chinese manner.

Picnic Planned
By Lettermen
It seems as if the Varsity
Club has a lot of high powered
ideas, but as yet nothing has
been done about them. Tentative plans have been- drawn up
concerning a picnic to be held
sometime this month, and if the
ball is ever started rolling it will
be quite a gala affair. Students
of last year will remember the
fine time they had at the Shady
Oak picnic ground in April of
'47 and for those who
were busy eating at that time
it was Varsity sponsored. Let's all hope for a repeat
performance.
The boys are still plug-

On Party Agenda
The basement lights of Coffman Building will be in full
glow Friday, April 19th, at
8:30 P.M. The occasion is the
annual swim-gym party, where
swimming, volley ball, eating,
and dancing afford ample opportunity for every J. C. student to have a good time.
Doors to the south gym, the
north gym and, of course, the
pool will be thrown open at
8:30 sharp. Jesse Bollman is
obtaining nets and volley balls
for those who wish to play.
There are three courts, allowing
plenty of space for the expected
crowd.
Swimming, under the
able eye of Coach Rockenbach, also commences at
8:30. To those who care to
swim and play net ball alternately, the doors connecting both gyms with the
pool are to be thrown
open. This will enable a
quick swim between fast
volley-ball games.
Dot Dickson, Frankie Markel,
'and Jean Keefe are supplying the

At 11:00 o'clock, and
this is important, all swimming and ball playing will
cease. The south gym and

activities, leaving only the
